Someone invited my entire family and I to a resort and I later on learned that it was my friend, Henry Furigay. When we reached the place, I asked the caretaker where we were to position ourselves and where to park too.

The attendants mentioned a certain level to park but were not comfortable sending me to that area. I learned that I was only able to reach the 5th level so I asked where was the better place to park.

The attendant was wary in answering me as he discussed that matter with his colleagues. I had a strong hunch that there was a surprise ready for us so they told me that I should head straight to the 13th level as that would be the best place.

When we entered the resort, a fantastic view emerged in front of us wherein we were situated atop the mountains and we were gazing below. We could well see the entire surroundings of the mountain where beside it was a spectacular beach.

Another fabulous site that was in front of me was an unusual swimming pool that was entirely unusual as compared to all the swimming pools that I have seen. The water was crystal clear and too inviting to resist. I plunged right away into the pool, which was quite deep but was not scary to jump and swim into. The feeling was truly exquisite and invigorating because the pool water was not actual water but made of a material that looked like gel. This gel like material made it possible to for me to sink whenever I dove but allowed me to go back freely to where I was seated. It was like a trampoline. This pool seemingly had some sort of a shock absorber.
I was also able to swim underwater in its super smooth and soft material and I was also capable of doing different swimming styles that only I can do.

Everyone was just ecstatic about what I can do. There were a lot of people including foreigners as well. One of the feats that astounded and fascinated everyone was when I was able bounce up and down the pool towards the ceiling. As I reach the ceiling, I was able to suspend myself in the air for a long time. Then the others would give me ample space when I decide to fall back into the pool to avoid anyone getting hit. What I felt in that pool was truly awesome.

After a while I was with my mother-in-law Lucy and we were sweetly talking with each other. Our heads were even together as we talked wherein I apologized to her for not being able to bring them to that place sooner as I was short of budget.

Lucy was also very happy being there. My brother-in-law Bong was likewise there but they were all hesitant to swim compelling me to show them again how to swim.

I searched for my wife Mellie whom I found seated beside an open door together with the other guests gazing at the view of the ocean. The view was breathtaking and truly hard to describe such that even if you are afar, you could see the clarity of the water.

There were also yachts and sailboats parked there. One was a red Mercedes Benz car that resembled a rubber boat. It was sailing when swamped by the waves but the captain was able to veer it away from being tossed into the beach.

While we were seated, a ship that resembled that of a pirate one was cruising right in front of us. It was kind of fast and written on its side were the words “extra big wave”. As soon as it got past us, a huge wave formed and got dumped on us and luckily, nothing happened to us.

The feeling was again ecstatic as the touch of a huge amount of water being poured all at the same time was just overwhelming. After a while I read that a second wave is about to arrive.

True enough, a second wave was doused on us and again nothing happened to us except the feeling of sheer joy and fun. As we kept ourselves seated we could very well view a pre-historic volcano under the water due to the clarity of the water. I pointed it to my daughter Karen and suggested that we should all dive it.

The view that I was pointing to was comparable to those in the movies wherein the volcano was beside several rivers and there were vast valleys and plains. The view was just so crystal clear it looked as if there was no water around it.

Later on, my wife Mellie came by and gave me a beer in can and persuaded me to drink. I resisted initially but after continuous inducement, I gave in and drank the beer.

Near the ocean was a lagoon that was also superbly beautiful. It was way too colorful and flowers, plants and trees were in abundance. A lot of people were there watching as a show was unfolding on top of the lagoon.

The lagoon was seemingly made of ice and there were tiny people on it who were dancing. It was a fairytale come true just like in the movies. Suddenly, something came rolling on top of the lagoon as if a star skating. There was an accompaniment of music that sounded like a strong wind with music.

Some of the children who got startled began to cry but abruptly kept quiet when the rolling stars were transformed into dancers on skates.

There were plentiful of dance activities and presentations being performed on the lagoon and they were just wonderful and spectacular as it all looked like they were the kind that one can only see in the movies.
